Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days (2012) Play Streaming

<p>The third installment in the "Wimpy Kid" franchise turns out to be not so wimpy after all.. Real emotions get expressed. Real family harmony emerges.. The execution isn't great. David Bowers, the director, allows too much hammy acting.. The third time might not be the charm, but this harmless family comedy proves more pleasant than its episodic 2011 installment.. Viewers enduring early adolescence or those grappling with its psychic scars will recognize the honesty in the comic humiliation.. The... <div id="rmore">2023453</div></p>

Despicable Me (2010) Full Movie Streaming

<p>When compared with the ambition and achievement of recent animated films, such as Coraline and Toy Story 3, Despicable Me hardly seems to have been worth making, and it's barely worth watching.. There's a fine line between gleeful anarchy and wasted energy, and Despicable Me has a wonderful knack for staking out its spot and staying on the right side.. This is an agreeable confection with a few soft spots.. Despicable Me appeals both to our innocence and our glee over cartoon anarchy.. The resul... <div id="rmore">1323594</div></p>

A Christmas Carol (2009) Play Streaming

<p>The film's charm, quickness and design carry the day.. One of those intergenerational embarrassment comedies in the Meet the Fockers line, where children can enjoy seeing grown-ups looking ridiculous.. Want the creeps for Christmas? Then check out the latest version of A Christmas Carol.. Just when you give up on it, usually in the middle of its latest, extraneous, gyroscoping thrill-ride sequence, Zemeckis reminds you that he's capable of true visual dynamism, enhanced but not wholly dictated b... <div id="rmore">1067106</div></p>

Shrek 2 (2004) Full Movie Streaming

<p>A rare example of a sequel that's better than the original.. Delivers more fun than there is slime in a green ogre's swamp.. Is it going too far out on a beanstalk to say that Shrek 2 is one of the most mature movies about adult relationships ever made?. Sharply funny.. This wonderfully animated movie is a little more softly pitched than its predecessor, but it still has plenty of rollicking spin on the ball.. The sequel doesn't feel like recycled pixie dust thanks to lovably loony new character... <div id="rmore">0298148</div></p>

Arthur and the Invisibles (2006) Online Streaming

<p>Essentially, though, the star is Besson himself, pulling out all the stops to give Pixar a run for their money.. A lazy fairy-tale pastiche reveling in mite-size cherubs, which cribs from gnomic mythology, elvish lore, Harry Potter, Arthurian legend and can't-pay-the-rent melodrama.. Luc Besson serves up a hybrid of live actors and computer-generated figures to tell a not-endearing-enough story about a boy who shrinks to microscopic size to find his missing grandfather.. An odd imp of a movie, A... <div id="rmore">0344854</div></p>

Monsters vs Aliens (2009) Watch Streaming

<p>It's an affectionate, fairly funny riff on 1950s sci-fi movies, which often featured aliens, sometimes in the form of gelatinous glop, trying to take over Earth before earthlings, usually of the military variety, save the day.. Directors Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon push so hard for three-dimensionality that they basically have their animators putting sightlines before storylines.. [The voice cast] really delivered funny line after funny line throughout this.. This film has hidden depths, esp... <div id="rmore">0892782</div></p>

Kung Fu Panda (2008) Play Movie

<p>With such an unfocused, impenetrable center, the film grows dull.. The animation is first-rate, with moments of genuine visual imagination, and the story, while unremarkable, is entirely adequate.. What you get, above all, is some enchanting flashes of classic Miyazaki and the nagging sense that something essential is missing.. Miyazaki, now in his mid-60s, has a refreshing and persuasive way of relating youth to old age and callowness to wisdom. Rather than presenting them succeeding each other... <div id="rmore">0441773</div></p>
